Observation details
This bird was singing. My recordings aren’t very good due to distance, but two or theee distinct calls can be discerned. In the first clip, the bird can be heard giving various chatter calls which sound somewhat like a rusty blackbird (to me anyway).In the second clip, the shrike can be heard giving a call that sounds like a softer, blue jay-like call. Unfortunately, the sparrows and crows overpower parts of the recordings, but I’ve never heard a shrike sing before, so I thought it was worth adding nonetheless.
